Which one seems more feminine?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I would consider the teenage bullying if you are in the UK OP.
Neither are very feminine names either as you asked about that.

spice3 · 26/10/2019 23:12

Harley (and I wouldn't worry about bullying with it).

Harleigh looks weird.

gnushoes · 26/10/2019 23:05

Why does it have to be feminine? She's a girl - don't need to prove it with a frilly name.
Harley is the only acceptable spelling.

PurpleFrames · 26/10/2019 22:53

Harley is male spelling, Leigh is the female ending. Kayleigh etc

Besidesthepoint · 26/10/2019 22:51

She will be made fun of in her teens

Saharafordessert · 26/10/2019 22:51

Do you have any other names lined up?

Shadow1234 · 26/10/2019 22:50

Love it! The little Harley I know (girl), spells it Harley.

goingdownsouth · 26/10/2019 22:44

Neither. What's your next choice?

bobbley · 26/10/2019 22:40

You really want your daughter to end up having a nickname associated with being a bike or a ride?

GorkyMcPorky · 26/10/2019 22:40

Neither.

DaveMyHat · 26/10/2019 22:40

Harley I don't mind. Haven't heard it before (apart from the bikes). I don't like Harleigh.

Loaf90 · 26/10/2019 22:38

Neither!!!

mamandematribu · 26/10/2019 22:37

Neither. Terrible name, sorry

HotSince82 · 26/10/2019 22:36

Harleigh is awful.
Harley is acceptable I suppose but lots of people will automatically make the Harley Quinn association. Are you ok with that?

NerdyCurvyInkedandPervy · 26/10/2019 22:36

If you're going to do it, you might as well ise the proper name - Harley.

Just be aware she'll be known as a really good ride...

DramaAlpaca · 26/10/2019 22:35

It's a no from me, too. Sorry.

If you must, spell it Harlie. Harley is a boys' name & Harleigh is fussy.

NewIdeasToday · 26/10/2019 22:35

Unfortunately neither seem feminine. As it’s the name of a motorcycle.

Singlenotsingle · 26/10/2019 22:34

Not keen on either, but Harley is better (slightly).

TokyoSushi · 26/10/2019 22:33

Neither, its a no from me, sorry OP!
